Application filedJnne 13, 1917.

To (ZZZ whom it may concern:

Be it known that I, SAUL MITTLEBURG, a citizen of the United States, and a resident of Altoona, in the county of Blair and State of Pennsylvania, have invented a new and Improved Bracket, of which the following is a full, clear, and exact description.

My invention has for its object to provide a bracket which is stamped out of a sheet of metal and which has a band for disposal around a molding, the bracket having a support at one end disposed at the outer side of the molding with a leg extending downwardly therefrom, and the bracket at its other end being provided with a looped portion for disposal in a groove in the molding.

Additional objects of the invention will appear in the following specification in which the preferred form of the invention is disclosed.

In the drawings similar reference characters denote similar parts in all the views, in which Figure l is a perspective view illustrating the manner in which my bracket is used;

Fig. 2 is a plan view showing the bracket blank before it is bent into shape;

Fig. 3 is a perspective view showing the blank after it has been bent into shape; and

Fig. at is a perspective view showing a molding similar to that illustrated in Fig. l, but manufactured in two parts which are glued together.

By referring to the drawings, it will be seen that from a sheet of metal a blank 10 is stamped, this blank 10 having a central band 11 which is enlarged at one end 12 to form a looped portion 13 illustrated in Figs. 1 and 3 of the drawings. An arm 14 extends laterally from the other end of the band 11, the arm ll at its outer end being enlarged to form a support 15 and there being at the outer side of the arm l t an extension 16 with teeth 17, this extension 16 being bent downwardly as illustrated in Figs. l and 3 to form a leg with the teeth 17 engaging the side 18 of a molding 19, the central band 11 being bent downwardly relatively to the arm let at the dotted lines 20 to engage the side 18 of the molding, the central band 11 being bent at 21 so that it vill extend across the face 22 of the molding, and the enlarged end 12 of the central band 11 being looped laterally with its free end 23 disposed adjacent the central band 11, as illustrated in Figs. 1 and 3 of the Specification of Letters Patent. Patented Aug. 20, 1918.

drawings, and the looped portion 18 being disposed in a groove 2% which extends through the face 22 of the molding as illustrated in Fig. 1 of the drawings.

As illustrated in Fig. i of the drawings. the molding 19 may if desired be constructed of two pieces which are glued together at 25.

Having thus described my invention, I claim as new and desire to secure by Letters Patent:

1. In combination with a molding having a facing and a side at an angle thereto, there being a vertical groove in the face of the molding, a bracket having a laterally extending band with one of its ends looped and fitting in the groove, the band being disposed against the face of the molding and being bent rearwardly at the said side of the molding, a support extending horizon-- tally from the band and at the said side of the molding and being provided with a depending leg engaging the molding.

2. A bracket stamped from a single sheet of metal having a horizontal central band with a horizontal looped portion at one end extending laterally from the band, a support extending horizontally from the top of the other end of the band and having a side bent downwardly to form a leg, the central band between its ends being bent rearwardly.

3. A bracket stamped out of a sheet of metal with a central horizontal band having a. horizontally looped end and an arm provided with a lateral extension, disposed at an angle to the band, the arm being bent horizontally adjacent the central band, the lateral extension being bent downwardly to form a leg, and the central band being bent rearwardly between the looped end and the arm.

4. A bracket stamped out of a sheet of metal with a central band having a looped end which is bent laterally with its free end adjacent the band, and an arm provided with a lateral extension, disposed at an angle to the band, the lateral extension being bent downwardly to form a leg, and the central band being bent rearwardly between the looped end and the arm,

5. A bracket stamped out of a sheet of metal with a horizontal band having a horizontally looped portion and a horizontal support spaced therefrom, the band having a lateral extension which is bent downwardly to form a leg.

6. A bracket stamped out of e sheet of metal with a central horizontal band having a looped end, and an ill'll'l provided with a lateral extension, disposed at an angle from the banch the arm being bent horizontally adjacentthe central band and the lateral eiitensionibeing bent downwardly to town a leg.

'7. A l bracket bl anli stamped out oi a sheet of metal with a Central horizontal band an arm extending at an angle from an end of the band, and an extension for a leg disposed at the outer side of the arm.

8. A bracket blank stamped out of a sheet of metal with a central horizontal band having an enlargement at one end adapted to be looped an arm extendingrat an angle from the other end of the central band and having an enlargement to serve as a support and an extension for a leg disposed at the 2e outer side of the arm.
